Polygraph Examiners (Lie-Detector Testing)

By means of the Executive Order all functions of the board were transferred to the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.

Polygraph examiners detect deception, verify truthfulness or provide a diagnostic opinion of either, through the use of an instrument or mechanical device.
